    You’re quite literally arguing that liberalism isn’t liberalism because conservatism/neoliberalism exists.

      you meant “figuratively” here, surely. Nothing that I wrote could reasonably be understood to mean “liberalism isn’t liberalism”. I’m not sure where you got that from, I’m afraid, and it’s not my duty to help you achieve comprehension. Maybe you could reach out to your educational institution.

        Considering your original comment is gone, meaning I can’t even refer to what you said nor to my own response in its context, and that you basically instantly went to ad hominem attacks calling me uneducated, merely for what was either misinterpreting your original comment or disagreeing with it, I can only assume you’re not having this discussion out of good faith, so let’s end this here.

          I didn’t edit my comment- talk to your moderation staff. I am discussing in good faith and meant everything I said. But I’m content to be done if you are. Have a day. 🫱
